really.....Hello Maaate.
They are fair way off but the stock Hazeman used was originally from NDNGUY who if you don’t already know was a guy of the forums that passed out the seeds as his gift to the growing community with the only stipulation being that pure seeds never be sold only gifted,so if I don’t somehow kill the plants or fuck up in some other way I’ll pass on as many seeds as I can to all of the crew that have kept this thread alive and kicking

Things are coming along in the tent,not the greatest run so far and it definitely won’t be a record breaker for yield but I’ve got a few things worked out and a few more to work out over the next couple of weeks so when I fire up next year it should be on straight away.

Crazy how fast they grow - comparing to the pic u posted a couple of days ago.
It’s hard to match the growth rates you can get in coco if you get the moisture content right. I’d never go back to using 5 or 7 gallon pots and once a day watering after using the blumats in 3 gals

@dopeonarope so is the branch I super cropped “supposed” to try and pop back up? Cos a few things I read all said that they will and then you’d tie them. I think I must crushed it with the pliers a little too much or something cos I don’t think it could straighten up if it tried. I checked it out today and didn’t realise that the skin on the inside of the fold split. So I taped it up for now. The branch def isn’t dying but the leaves have all plastered to the side of it now. Should I cut them off cos the length of the bud isn’t seeing any light because of it?

Ps. I keep asking you cos I only did it under your suggestion to, so if anything fucks up it’s on you!!
(Lol I’m kidding of course)

What are these blue mats? I’m going to have to google it. Not that I’d use them sounds a bit hi tech for me but I’m interested as to what they are. I thought you’s were talking about some kind of heat mats all this time LOL

They are just drippers but instead of running from a timer they have moisture sensing “carrots” that open and close as the medium gets wet/dry

A few videos that give a good demonstration of how they work
